Members Soapsuds Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 Yeah ..she is breakdown writer there I believe...probably co head writer in ghost capacity...lol.....Yeah AMC numbers are where GL and ATWT were in those demos. I just find AMC so dull with nothing going for it. Add Rylee to the mix and you get the low demos. I dont know...lol.......I mean who is worse McTavish or Passanante??

Members LoyaltoAMC Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 I enjoyed the Tad/Ted story too, despite it having more holes than a slice of Swiss cheese. I think the culmination of that story, the week that Tad and Dixie were reunited in NYC(?), they were thisclose to knocking Y&R out of the number 1 spot. I know the demos were through the roof at that point. I think that worked because it was about characters we cared about and, despite its many, many flaws, it was well-paced and focused, and had tons of story momentum, as opposed to the whatever-sticks-against-the-wall method of storytelling we've been getting for years.

Members Cheap21 Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 Dont sugar coat it. You were right hte first time. She was horrible...lol. I loved the Tad/Ted story as well but man that was the beginning of Dixie and her f--ed up hairdos of the 90s. Her hair doesnt get decent again until she returns in 1998 with the curls, which itself goes awfully wrong when she refuses to get rid of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 Really AMC is about nothing right now. I try to watch since I miss my soap but there is nothing there. Same [!@#$%^&*] with Rylee. Same [!@#$%^&*] with David. Besides that what is there??? Boring dull mess of a show with characters that I dont know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 You should post all that in the AMC behind the scenes thread. I guess SOD stopped doing those reviews when the networks got more and more upset about criticism, but I thought they were a good read, and sometimes right on the nose. The last ones I remember reading that gave an in depth critique to each soap were around the mid or late 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 Most shows would actually try and make things better when critcized about something, but I guess Daytime is a whole different animal. Most in charge of primetime shows actually seem to listen to and care what viewers think, daytime doesn't seem to do either one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 A lot of people in primetime also seem to get upset when criticized, like Aaron Sorkin, or the Lost people...but they also tend to sometimes go along with the "I know how important this is, I feel your pain, this is how we're going to save the show" PR tour, like Heroes did over and over. I think the soaps became afraid that any criticism would hurt ratings, which were already hurting, and that was another way to avoid blaming themselves for the problems of their shows.

Members Angela Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 Tad and Brooke's wedding was heart-breaking. Dixie with a feverish Ted thinking he's Tad confessing her love. Brooke being stupid and choosing Tad over Edmund when he tries to stop the wedding. The river scenes were great. They were only really close once and that's the week they beat Y&R for half an episode. That is the week when Tad/Dixie finally saw each other/confronted each other following Tad returning from the dead. LOL. You're right. My mother stopped watching the show a long time ago but sometimes she catches the opening and at this point she only recognizes 8 out of the 20-30 characters in there - Erica, Jack, Kendall, Jesse, Angie, Tad, Ryan and I think Greenlee. McTavish 2003-2004 a la Kane (Michael Cambias murder, Miranda/Babyswitch, etc)... ETA: Carl, will do later this evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 Those are same ones I recognze too and JR. I am glad I am not the only one that sees this problem with the show. I hate to say this but McTavish's 2003-2004 mess is miles better than what is on now.....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 Melody Anderson as the not quite as fabulous Natalie Marlowe hyunter Hunter Cortlandt Chandler Dillon at 3:50! say what you will about these stories, but AMC used to have some amazing promotional images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted January 9, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 The bottom one annoys me. It should say, "To whom" not "To who." ETA: AM's hair looks much better in those pics. It isn't that wild uncontrollable mess that we see these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
